Energy for life through exercise and breaks! -theme week

Right at the beginning of autumn, we want to encourage students and staff to exercise so that the academic year gets off to an energetic start! We will provide information on the benefits of exercise and break activities, as well as the services available to the university community in this regard.

Most people are aware of the basic factors that affect their well-being, but their own minds can sometimes be an obstacle to making changes – we will offer support for this through a lecture on mental contrasting.
